I've had this many times before when copying settings from one image to another, but not like this...

Somewhere in the middle of editing a series of images I added a new instance of the Exposure module to underexposure certain parts of the image. It was correctly added with the name Exposure 1. In that module I added a mask like you can see in the screenshot.

Many times I copied the settings from one image to another, except that I turned off that new Exposure instance. Everything went well, and I edited all the rest and the final result looked good so I exported all of them. Then I saw that lots of images had this rectangular 'leftover' of the mask of the first image I edited and where I added that mask, and the rest of all these images were all too dark.

The original Exposure module was set to about +0.84EV and the Exposure 1 module with the mask was set to -0.62EV to darken areas that were too light. As you can see in the result, the 'leftover' of the mask has become a + exposure instead of - , and both modules now are just called Exposure, not Exposure and Exposure 1.

The screenshot of an image when I went back to see what happened:
